Not if they wanted their precious super team.

Idiots.

Cleveland appreciates that though. lol

Brooklyn has a way to get back into any game. They call it KD. I just don't know if there's enough of it to go around given their shabby defensive showing.

KD had like 11 assists the other night. He has 1 so far tonight.

Appreciate it? I'll buy the entire staff dinner for doing that trade. We couldn't be more thrilled.

Nets getting their butts handed to them in the third. Hope they can get back to form.

Boston bringing the 2nd guy late to help on KD has really disrupted his game. He can't really get to his spots for those easy mid-range jumpers off his own dribble. Still lethal off catch and shoots though.

Allen was raw and the Nets didn't want to pay him 100 million which is fair

A healthy & conditioned Ben Simmons would be huge for the Nets. Anyone saying they don't need him or they wouldn't help, I truly do not understand.

I hate the stupid fashion stuff, him being a bit soft, but a 6'10 solid defender would be huge for the Nets.

He's a spectacular player but his total lack of team defensive awareness and his mediocre 5-5 offensive awareness will ensure he never becomes a top 5 player in the league despite the ability

That shouldn’t be a foul on Kyrie because it was incidental contact but feel like that was called an offensive foul back in the bubble, no?

He's a monster player. I'm not sure he could come back after a year w/o playing but if he could he would give them an enormous lift.

still just a 9 pt game...Nets can comeback

Is KD washed? damn bro. He looks like he's getting the same looks he normally gets and its clanking every time. Used to marvel at him being able to hit every shot over a contest....Father time really waits for no one. Its Tatum's time

I mean the Nets will never win the series if the officiating is going to be like this. The Nets are not allowed to play defense.

Tatum is too powerful. I just don’t think they can guard him.

Tatums making that leap. More decisive and confident than ever.

Woooah bloodthirsty Boston crowd! SO FUN having fans back in arenas!

And yes, Patty's off ball movement is ELITE.

That contest by Jaylen Brown shouldn't go unmentioned either. Dragic was wide open, and Brown jumped like he was in Space Jam to contest.

Boston needs to keep pushing because the Nets aren’t just gonna fold. Yes, the defense is putrid but the offense is easily good enough to overcome if Boston takes even a slight step back.

Nets need more size

Who wins the series?
